We live in Florence and I will definitely drive there when I want good barbecue. Highly recommend! They have takeout service and dine in buffet.

I waited at the window to order for a good 7 minutes while everyone inside walked by, never acknowledging my presence. Someone could have at least greeted me and assured me that someone would be with me shortly. A guy finally came to the window and said, "Yes". I was immediately turned off. Not only did I wait 7 minutes in the heat, but I did not even receive a warm greeting. Thankfully, what I wanted they were out of. That let me off the hook from having to say, nevermind, I will go spend my money where I'm wanted.

Yelp Fam! I'm back…read morewith another review, and this time I'm in Lake City, South Carolina. Now, there's a Shrimper in my part of SC, but the quality hasn't been consistent over the last several years. We heard that the Shrimper in Lake City was on a whole different level, so my family and I had to check it out when we were in the area. First off, when we pulled up, the parking lot was packed--no surprise since it was a Saturday. A good number of people were leaving as we walked in, so our wait time wasn't too bad. We decided to place a to go order and after about 15 minutes in line (seems like everyone else had the same idea), we were ready to order. The decor was pretty similar to the Shrimper we're used to--paneled walls, simple decor, same menu aesthetics. The cashiers were efficient, fast, and friendly considering the number of orders they were juggling. We ordered several items, including (2) flounder and shrimp plate, a large shrimp dinner, a shrimp and chicken dinner, and extra hushpuppies. The sides on the platters included rice and gravy, fries, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw. Overall, the food was good. One thing I particularly loved was that the shrimp were CLEAN! I can't stand gritty shrimp (you know, when they haven't been deveined properly). Thankfully, that wasn't the case here. The rest of my family enjoyed their food too. While we may not drive a great distance just to go again, if we're in the area, this place will definitely be on our list. If you're around, I recommend you add this spot for some good fried seafood to your list.

Jeremy was at the take out window and explained they are opened Thursday to Saturday. I ordered 2# of pork and 2 fried corns, quart of collars and a chicken breast. They explained they were given me 2 breast because they were small. When I finally got home 50miles away, I couldn't wait to try the chicken, according to Jeremy it is the best. I opened the box and to my surprise it was two cut off backs of the breast( I had seen whole breast in buffet and couldn't figure out why I was given these backs) After tasting the chicken it was so salty it was like they took it off some ones leftover plate because I can't see them selling this salty chicken on a buffet. If this is practice I would rather go to the schoolhouse bbq buffet which is up the street. The corn was good but very greasy. The pork was tasty but dry and the collards where good. They included 2 small cups of bbq sauce which tasted like mustard, which I didn't care for. After this experience I'm not really sure I would return to this place. Scott's bbq in Hemingway is still the tops in South Carolina but I was real excited about this place because of the convenience it is for my return home from Florida every month.

We were passing through Lake City and actually looking for Macks BBQ. But when we got to the…read moreaddress, the signage said "Rabbit's Bar-B-Que." No matter, I always try any BBQ place. I am glad we stopped here! Note, they are open Thursday through Saturday. My rating is based solely on the BBQ since we grabbed a sandwich to go. This is a wonderful looking place, tiny, and take out only. It is unique. There are just two rooms, and a I believe a pit room out back. When you walk in, you are in a small room and one wall has an open window to the kitchen, the order window. That's it. The kitchen is not a commercial looking one, but to me the type of small stove, fridge, countertops and cabinetry you'd find in a 70's apartment. As I walked in, a man probably near 80 was leaving and asked what he had and it was the chopped BBQ. He said "the best there is." The man taking my order was Rabbit. He was extremely friendly and welcoming. I asked how long they'd been there and he said just a few weeks. We talked for a few minutes. There was only one other person there, a woman in the kitchen and unfortunately I don't recall if he said that was his wife or not. But she was putting together orders on a small island in the center of the small kitchen. The smell of the meat and sauce was great. On the kitchen counter was a sleeve of napkins, plastic utensils, and loaves of white sliced bread. On the island was pulled pork in aluminum trays that looked like it had just been pulled off the bone, steam and good aromas rising. I got a chopped BBQ sandwich with slaw to go. She piled the Q on and added homemade slaw. The meat was very, very moist, pulled and not chopped to pieces like some places, so it retained all the nice juices. It was a little peppery with a little vinegar base, and smoky. The slaw is a green slaw but unique. It is not mayonnaise-ish at all, but chopped crisp fresh cabbages and pepper. What is unusual about it was that it had chopped pickle in it which added a little vinegar flavor as well, and the crunch it added was really nice. All this was was piled on basic sliced white sandwich bread. I've not seen that in a very long time. The portion was huge. They put it in a styrofoam container and they were one of fewer places now that put plastic utensils and napkins in the bag without you having to ask. The fork is needed since there was so much meat it was overflowing the bread. This is a great stop if you are in the area or a BBQ junkie like me on the hunt for good places. Give them a try. I really enjoy the food and the people. The best I ever had, no, but I really liked the flavor, the atmosphere and friendliness of the owner, the look of the place, and the way they served it. I will be back to try the brisket - looked good and gets great reviews!
